Kaliviani Traditional Hotel

We spent 5 nights in this cozy hotel, 5 rooms only each with a balcony and a spectacular view on the Kissamos bay. Ioannis, the owner, is a very kind and available person not to say very careful about every single aspect of his hotel management. I am getting not only at the delicious made-on-the minute breakfast but also at how the rooms and the whole building are kept. Very highly recommended…🔝

Don't quite know what to say to do this place justice. We booked 4 nights to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, ended up staying 10 and were sad to have to leave. Beautiful newly refurbished hotel with only 5 rooms, balcony with seaview, excellent mattress and shower, spacious rooms. Located in a quiet village, with amazing traditional restaurants just around the corner. Short drive to the beautiful Balos and Falassarna beaches. For any hiking enthusiasts, you can walk from the hotel over the hill to Falassarna beach, took me about an hour and a half and the walk has gorgeous views. Every morning Ioannis would prepare us tasty fresh breakfast with lots of choice. The beautifuly decorated breakfast room with instrumental music and Ioannis 's calming presence was an oasis of peace. Thank you Ioannis, we hope to be back soon 🙏🏻.

Between hills of olive trees! Perfect place to stay, close to Falassarna, 15 mins drive. Also Balos is close. Very nice host super friendly and polite! Big room, super clean and a nice balcony overlooking the sea! Perfect breakfast. Good restaurants are only a few mins walk, Thanx valentina

Stayed here two nights to explore the area. Such a lovely, modern family hotel retaining its Greek village charm. The room was large with a small balcony and beautiful view. The breakfast was simple but excellent.

The hotel is situated in a tiny village, 3 restaurants and a supermarket just outside the town of Kissamos. The setting is ideal for a 2 or 3 night stay. The owner,Ioannis,is a charming man and his communication very good. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. At first I thought the breakfast was a little over priced, however it was a very good fresh breakfast. The area is lovely for walking and has 2 of the best beaches in Crete. Balos beach is spectacular. An 8 km dirt track drive then 2 km easy mountain path walk down to the beach. I believe it's packed in the summer, so April, May, end September and October are an ideal time.

Loved this hotel. Stayed here for 3 nights on a 10-night trip in western Crete (the other places we stayed were in Chania, Rethymno and Heraklion). It is an awesome location for the big three beaches: Balos, Elafonissi and Falasarna. We didn’t want to stay in Kissamos and this was perfect. The village of Kaliviani has a lot to offer. It is small but has excellent tavernas. If you need a supermarket, pharmacy etc. than Kissamos is only a few miles away. The hotel has only 5 rooms. All were redone 2 years ago so they feel new. Tile floors, great bedding, new bathrooms etc. with nice balconies with a great view. We left the balcony doors open at night. Can’t remember the last time I work up to the sound of a rooster. Ioannis is an awesome host. I was nervous that breakfast would not be great as it is a small hotel. However, it was wonderful. Eggs cooked to order. Great bread, fruits, yogurt, honey cold cuts – food that tastes like it should. The only improvement I could see would being able to get a cappuccino in the morning as I am not a fan of Greek coffee. However, there is a great place down the street that does these (Kampanari restaurant / café). Overall a great experience and would be happy to stay there again!
